Forgot to mention even though it is not aviation the VC torpedo boat is leaving Hangar 3 as they were preparing it yesterday according to the guide there is a new aviation element going in there and some more changes due.

When in ww2 service the passengers had no view outside as the windows were covered for security reasons,so they missed the far to close view of a huge battleship near the Caithness coast when Capt Fresson broke cloud over what he thought was open sea...

Are there no rivet counters about this early in the year? The Rapide is in the Southern Division colours, whereas it operated for Fresson's Northern Division. We preferred the silver below the cheat line scheme on the nacelles.

There is a photo showing 3 Rapides lined up at Glasgow Renfrew in exactly that scheme so I cannot be miffed, anyway I am still happy that you chose that scheme and if you ever venture North i would be delighted to take air to airs over Inverness, we are based there.
